Never had car feel “heat soaked” or down on power, even after fully warming car up then doing 10 back to back 20-80mph pulls as quickly as possible in 85F weather. Obviously not a autox or track scenario. But good enough to know it will never have issues in any daily driving or spirited driving conditions.

That intake temp has little to do with charge temps though. I monitor charge temps in the manifold, and there is a reasonable difference (+20-30C - more if you're on it constantly) once you get on it. You need to move the IAT sensor though.

The IAT sensor, unless you've added a new IAT sensor in the manifold, just takes the air temp at the start of the system as it's part of the MAF. So pre-compression, which adds a fair bit of heat before the IC, which is inside the intake manifold, takes some of it back out.
